Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) wants to be an actor. But he does not have any real talent for the job. This is also communicated to him in acting classes. In the same class as Greg is also Tommy Wiseau (James Franco). The obscure man with the long black hair is an eccentric, who likes to exaggerate in his performances and make for more laugh than anything else.

Greg and Tommy make friends and decide to move to Los Angeles to launch their careers. However, when the two struggle to land jobs, Tommy begins to write a screenplay that he wants to film with himself and Greg in the lead roles. The resulting project, called “The Room,” will go down in history as one of the worst movies ever, putting Tommy’s and Greg’s friendship to the test.

The true production history behind The Room is presented by director and star James Franco as a wonderfully funny comedy, which is absolutely for the connoisseurs of the Wiseau film to scream and for everyone else also entertaining. James Franco excels with comedic timing as Tommy Wiseau, but also recognizes the irrepressible will of his portrayed figure. A must for film fans.
